Abstract
A sensor includes an upper-level connection port, a lower-level connection port, a command receiver, a wait time period setter, and a motor-related information obtainer. The upper-level connection port is configured to communicate with an upper-level sensor or an upper-level controller. The lower-level connection port is configured to communicate with a lower-level sensor. The command receiver is configured to receive a command from the upper-level controller. The wait time period setter is configured to set a wait time period based on an order of connection of at least the upper-level sensor or the upper-level controller, the sensor, and the lower-level sensor. The motor-related information obtainer is configured to obtain motor-related information, which relates to a motor, at a timing determined by the command and at a timing based on the wait time period.
